In the ever-evolving tech landscape, one thing remains constant: the centrality of data. From fueling business strategies to enhancing personal experiences, data has become the lifeblood of our digital existence. However, as the importance of data continues to soar, so do the threats to its security. This has prompted regulators worldwide to take a proactive stance, introducing stringent guidelines to safeguard data from bad actors and ongoing cyber threats.
Amid this backdrop, Hitachi Vantara stands out as valuable partner in understanding data protection solutions, explains Greg Bucyk, VP of Partner Strategy, GTM, and Strategic Alliances at Hitachi Vantara in a recent article in Hitachi Vantara Champions Corner.
“While data becomes imperative to daily operation, the availability and protection of this data becomes critical for companies propelling their businesses forward,” says Bucyk. He also notes how GenAI is already making an impact on enterprise data management. “As GenAI brings in the next wave of innovation for our customers, even its success will be based upon the quality of the underlying data that it can pull from.”
Safeguarding Data Assets
At the core of Hitachi Vantara's offerings lies the Virtual Storage Platform (VSP), a foundation designed to meet the data storage and protection needs of organizations of all sizes. With its seamless integration and reliability, VSP ensures maximum efficiency while safeguarding critical data assets.
Every VSP comes with the Hitachi Ops Center Protector for core functions and automation. The security functionality of Ops Center Protector can be extended with other applications, such as VM2020 CyberVR, which provides for the world’s fastest ransomware recovery on the market today, with a recovery at scale tested to over 1500 VMs.
The Move to Zero Trust Security
Moreover, Hitachi's approach extends beyond traditional data protection methods, with a recent addition to the data protection stack, the Hitachi VSP-to-Rubrik connector. The integration of Hitachi VSP with Rubrik, renowned for its zero-trust data security, exemplifies the commitment to staying ahead of emerging threats. This collaboration not only enhances data security but also streamlines data recovery processes, minimizing downtime and ensuring business continuity.
Bucyk also adds that as the regulatory landscape continues to evolve, Hitachi Vantara intends to remain at the forefront, offering solutions to help partners navigate the complexities of compliance. With the looming implementation of regulations, including the Digital Operations Resilience Act (DORA) that will force a framework across the European Union (EU), Hitachi's expertise becomes invaluable to organizations who want to stay ahead of the compliance curve.
